China

Perhaps the most famous attraction in Xi’an is the Emperor Shi Huang Di (AKA Qinshihuang)'s Mausoleum Site Museum, AKA the Terracotta Army. The museum consists of three pits, each with something to make it unique. Pit 1 is the largest and consists of soldiers ready for battle.

With a history of over a thousand years, Xi'an offers exceptional values for visitors. Today, we strolled through a Tang-style architecture garden, a refrehing break from Beijing's Qing culture.

As our trip in China began to get underway, we were slowly exposed to more and more exotic foods. First Beijing and Xi'an, then to cities of Sichuan fire in Chengdu and Chongqing, a quick stop in Guilin, before moving to milder flavours in Guangzhou.
